At the track yesterday, I was talking to a couple of guys who were bitterly complaining that their $150-plus matched cells were running out of steam after about 30 charges. Basically, they cells are useless after being used that many times. I found this difficult to believe, but they were adamant. Their cells were the Panasonic type, but were sure that the Sanyo's do it too.
And, by way of "proof", one other dude with Sanyo 3000's (Fantom matched), was leading a stock race when his battery carked it on the final lap. He was astounded - this guy wins lots, has good gear and knows how to maintain his equipment. His charger is a Millenium and he couldn't figure out what was wrong - his motor was fine (i.e. not comm/brush problem). No conclusive evidence it was the pack, but the Twilight Zone theme playing in the background gave it away..... :eek:
So, has anybody else experienced problems with their 3000's going belly up after 30 or so charges ???
I've just purchased 3 sets of Fantom matched 3000's and just going through the process of building the packs. I'm not real happy about what I hear...... :confused:
